This is what @DovForman found on his great grandmother’s @TikTok channel when he turned on his mobile after the Jewish Sabbath
Lily is a Holocaust survivor and educator. Her video literally just said “Wishing you a lovely, peaceful weekend…Shabbat shalom”

This is the response
It goes on
Last night & today I & thousands of other @CST_UK volunteers across the country donned hi-vis jackets & stab vests & stood outside our synagogues, protecting our families, friends & communities while they prayed, on our most holiest of days. We don’t do this to draw attention 1/4
to ourselves, we don’t do it because it’s fun, we don’t do it to make a point. We do it because it’s necessary - because in 2019 to be Jewish comes at a cost. We are vigilant, we have to be. In Halle, Germany, this morning a synagogue, not much different to mine was 2/4
attacked. Jewish people at prayer were targeted. 2 people were killed. We are told it was only security measures outside the synagogue that stopped the gunman entering & murdering more people. So don’t tell me other communities have it worse, don’t tell me antisemitism is 3/4
Just been accosted by Labour Party Marxists' Anne McShane outside a pub. She wanted to know if I was proud of myself. #LabourConference2019 #Lab19
She accused me of assisting a witchhunt against the Labour left, which will be due to my calling out antisemitism, something I'd always regarded as a duty for socialists. I replied that I was ashamed I'd ever been involved in a group that was now facilitating antisemitism.
And that she should be ashamed too. LPM is a front for the CPGB, a group that didn't used to obsess about anti-Zionism but has done that these last few years, spawning Labour Against the Witchhunt and presenting all concerns about antisemitism as some sort of Zionist conspiracy.
I have posted some things in the last few years that I never believed I would see or hear in the city I grew up in, in the liberal, tolerant City of Sanctuary of Brighton & Hove. When I was first sent this vile message from a Labour Facebook group of someone suggesting that
“We need to march about this to the Synagogue in Hove,” in response to a candidate’s suspension for antisemitism, I cried. It took a reality check from a pragmatic friend to get me to stop shaking. It was reported to the police & CST immediately. I’m no shrinking violet.
I am always ready to stand up & defend my community or any underdog. That’s what I do. I work to defend, enable, empower those without a voice. The suggestion made by some that Alex Braithwaite’s suspension was racially motivated is a disgusting slur against everything I do
As a member of #Brighton/#Hove's small Jewish community I can tell you that there is something fundamentally wrong with our great city at present. Our community deserves more.
Time and time again these incidents happen here - in our home - and they do not happen without our community shaking their heads in disbelief.
"If you prick us do we not bleed?"

What is it about B&H now that seems to bring out the very worst in some?
What is it that makes some think they can use language they wouldn't dream of using with any other minority community?
Why are we - a comm. that has lived here for 250 years - now feeling so concerned?

Yesterday we saw a horrendous attack on a Synagogue in San Diego in which Lori Kaye (BDE) was senselessly murdered by a gunman and 3 others wounded. This is not the first nor sadly will it be the last attack on one of our places of worship.

Shortly before y'days attack in San Diego @NudderingNudnik wrote a thread about a credible risk to his own shul here in the UK that was considered of such seriousness that the police felt the need for a high profile presence during the Shabbat service.

You might be thinking these incidents happen in isolation or that the threat to us is minimal or exaggerated.
Sadly that might have been true a few years ago, it is not now!

The new revelations come as Labour waits to hear whether the Equality and Human Rights Commission is to launch a full investigation into whether it has discriminated against Jews.

The party also launched an investigation into a separate candidate who backed Ken Livingstone over what he called the ‘antisemitism witch-hunt’ – and accused opponents of Jeremy Corbyn of using the issue as a ‘political weapon’ to attack him.

What’s shown in this thread is heinous and desperate.
Hamas is a militant Islamist terrorist regime who’s had full control of Gaza since 2007, with literally billions of dollars in aid, and this is how they treat their own people.
Hamas are ‘friends’ to no-one.

Posting this has already enraged some people, as it doesn’t fit with their worldview that people are either oppressors or oppressed.
I and other British people fighting antisemitism get #FreePalestine replies daily, to posts about cats or football - that’s racist.

I rarely talk about Israel, except in its right to exist, but when you see videos like these, I do wonder where the outrage is by those who seek out British Jews to abuse them.
Many people truly truly care. But many people are ignorant or racist or both.

Eddie Roberts of Wigan Constituency Labour Party says that "no evidence of antisemitism has been produced by the Jewish hierarchy, Tories all!" He warns: "If the Jewish race are not careful, they will be guilty of creating animosity towards them by their unfounded actions...". /1
If only they'd listened to him, eh? Four months earlier, Eddie wrote that "British Jewry ought to be careful what they wish for" because protests against Labour antisemitism "risk creating fresh waves of anti antisemitism instead of rooting it out and eradicating it." /2
Eddie Roberts has "spent a lifetime without having any prejudicial thoughts about the Jews". But since "loathsome right-wing anti-socialist creatures like Hodge, Berger, Ellman, Sacks and others" started criticising Jeremy Corbyn, he fears he's "becoming antisemitic" himself. /3
An example of a lie getting half way around the world before the truth has a chance to put its boots on.
I’m fed up of the character smears, but in today’s bizarro world, this week musician spends days libelling me, and for this is called a ‘Star’ by an ex-England footballer 🤦🏼♀️

Back in December, off the back of a shower of hate I’d received for posting evidence of the UK’s growing anti-Jewish racism problem with the left, I received this message from a teenage girl telling me I should be ashamed of myself etc...
What followed was a polite exchange from both parties, as we both explained our positions.
Weeks later, as the spotlight on antisemitism, and my part in that grew, this exchange was then used by some other people seeking to discredit me, to smear me as a ‘viscous child bully’.

@EuanPhilipps, spokesperson for LAAS:
‘We fully support the governments decision to proscribe Hezbollah. It follows a long and at times difficult campaign by the Jewish community to prevent representatives of a barbaric terrorist group from marching openly through London.

But it is unsurprising that Labour have been unable to provide their backing, given Jeremy Corbyn’s alleged close relationship with them and his track record of speaking at their events.

In January 2019, @AngelaRayner spoke about remembering the Holocaust. Today they continue to serve an antisemitic leader as a member of an institutionally racist political party, Why? #BeLouder #LabourAntisemitism @UKLabour @jeremycorbyn
This might of course have something to do with why.
As might this
It’s really hard to understand why some Jews are antisemitic. I didn’t know that could be possible to all this. But I’ve seen it with my own eyes. Antisemitic Jews a teeny tiny minority but they’re disproportionately shoved in our faces as heroes and examples for the rest of us.
Im not saying all 200 of Corbyn’s chosen people from this list are antisemitic, but enough have serious question marks over them, to not want to be associated with them if you’re not, and definitely not held up as anyone to actually listen to...surely?
I’ve asked @daverich1 about this before. 90-93% of British Jews hold the concept Israel somewhere in their identity as such. That leaves 7-10% of others, split between some ultra-orthodox and left/right politics. That leaves a generous max of 5% eg Jewish Voice for Labour (🤮).
Just a few messages I got yday after tweeting support for @lucianaberger.
The CLP’s motion of no confidence is to do with everything you can think of, including daring to criticise dear leader, but NOT over antisemitism. That’s disgusting, weaponising, shit-stirring! (Obvs)

Definitely definitely 100% not even 1% to do with criticising leadership over antisemitism... 🙈🙉🙊 #GTTO🌹🙄
The CLP of one of the most vocal female Jewish MPs calling out Labour’s handling of its AS crisis, is using its party structure to try to intimidate her and others from speaking out.
Nice vision of ‘democracy’.
Any grown-ups in leadership actually want to fix this? #BeLouder

After I gave my speech on Tuesday for @HolocaustUK, Auschwitz survivor, Lily Ebert, came up to me shocked by what she’d heard, and immediately asked - what could she do to help? Lily is almost 90 years old, she’d given 3 talks that day, reliving her heartbreaking stories of what
Another typical case study of the vile antisemite supporters @jeremycorbyn’s Labour has enticed. A tale of two Corbynistas, not created equal.
Charles Harding, @UKLabour member since 2015 posted the challenge of showing him examples of AS in Labour, with the usual ”AZ is not AS”

Same generation Labour member @Steve_Cooke took up his challenge, by showing him plenty of antisemitism in @UKLabour, from none other than Charles Harding himself.
NB you may know of Steve from when he turned whistler-blower on his own CLP over AS.

Steve used to be a member of Labour against the Witch-hunt. An org defending @UKLabour members accused of AS, no matter how vile or blatant it was. Steve soon realised that compared to political smears he’d seen before, this was no witch-hunt & was appalled by the AS he saw.
A VERY long thread on the scale of deception, lies and intimidation I’ve had since speaking out about #LabourAntisemitism, and the lows those seeking to hide it will stoop to.
Since exposing evidence of AS, the attempts to smear me & others have become more and more elaborate.

A frequent lie spread about me, is that I’ve been bullying/encouraging the bullying of a 16 yr old girl.
I’ve posted my entire interaction with her, defending myself politely against claims I’m lying, with evidence to the contrary of antisemitism in Labour.
Proveably untrue.

I last spoke to her in December, following which she posted that she’d blocked me, at which point I wouldn’t have been able to contact her even if I wanted to, which I didn’t.
Since January however, her father @TonyLelliott1 has perpetuated the lies and encouraged the narrative.

For months now, I’ve been speaking out to highlight the growing problem of AS in the UK.
On Monday I recorded a Podcast with @krishgm which comes out today

Upon hearing this, some people are worried.
I’ve deleted her handle to avoid a pile on, also I really want nothing to do with her.
Rosie is a 16 year old girl who claims I’m a bully.
I could ignore this, but 1st, it’s wrong. And 2nd, it’s being spread by some dangerous people.

But another thread, on the worrying trend in combatting Antisemitism.
This morning I was heartened, when having read my posts, a man messaged to say he’d changed his views on AS, from a smear on Labour, to valid.

I’ve deleted his name so he doesn’t get harassed again.
But from simply agreeing the evidence I’ve given looks credible, the abuse, lies, slurs ensued.
Usual stuff, baseless and/or irrelevant:
No evidence
Israel
Deluded
JC supports Jews
Smear
Support of Palestine not AS

A thread on the antisemitism and MO of Aaron Bastani. He should not be given airtime by the mainstream press...>
Instead of spokespeople, Labour’s leadership office mobilise their unofficial mouthpieces to cheerlead them. People like Aaron Bastani... > thetimes.co.uk/article/corbyn…
It’s an overstatement to call them ‘journalists.’ They are just activists with a platform who are following instructions. Which is why real journalists like @OzKaterji get so infuriated with them...>
Dear @LabLeftVoice and cohort. I’ve been warned about you. How you harass, intimidate and bully those who speak out against antisemitism. How you rally your supporters and use sock accounts to send weird anti-Israel anti-Zionist nonsense. I’m not interested. More dog pics please!
Big Anchorman fan myself!
I have a voice, a profile. Others you abuse and attack don’t. I will shine a light on this @LabLeftVoice. Batman in the sky style.
